I am having difficulties understanding the Keyboard.inp file, in that I cannot seem to find the KB command to set target padlock. Is "inpSetSlewMode=S" what I'm looking for? If so, how is it used effectively in game? the T key is also confounding me, I can cycle through the targs (in lower left of screen) but how do I know what targ I've selected, other than textually?

Also, does anybody have a JS profile for the afformentiond stick that I could ask for a copy from? This could save me a bunch of trial and error time.

Any help will be appreciated.

Padlock doesn't need to be activated in the Keyboard.inp, it's already a part of the game, you select a target using T then hit F1 to padlock it, F1 again will return you to normal view. F1 will padlock the target selected and you will always view in it's dircetion, thats how other than the overlay text you will know which target is selected. In the prefs you can set it to allow you to padlock distant targets, meaning targets you wouldn't normaly be able to visualy pick up.

Hope this helps some, if not let us know

Johannes,
No... these are not the same sticks, so I doubt that the profiles will be compatible, but go ahead and send a copy to wwdubya@hotmail.com. The profile manager might be able to parse the code enough that I can manually assign my buttons with your commands.

Nat,
Ah-HA! That's what I'm missing! The smots to figger dese tings out. As with my reply to Johannes, go ahead and shoot me the profile you have also. Who knows, I may be able to salvage enough info to build a custom profile from the both of yours.

I recommend using mouse-panning, very smooth and immersive! I think I am the only one though... I use the left hand on the mouse and the right hand on the joystick. I do keep on the throttle with my left hand allot in a fight, you wuold be suprised how infrequent you need to change your view when in a fight. I just make quick changes with the mouse, it feels so real!

When I use padlock I feel like the aircraft is rotating around me and I am floating, I don't like that - I want to be in control!

If you want to try it, let me know and I will post the needed lines to add to your keybard.inp file...

BTW: is it also possible to padlock a freindly or ground target? Haven't figured that one out yet. (Prolly right under my nose and just can't see the panel for all the instruments [grin])

I will email you my Keyboard.inp and LWFF profile later tonight.
